Kora and I had a blast last night listening to Christmas music and riding horses with the arena all lit up.

Should you have any holiday lighting or decorations you no longer want, we would be delighted to receive them to further enhance the arena's ambiance and establish this as an annual event for our valued clients.

Tucker is the kind of horse everyone’s searching for! At just 5 years old, standing 15 hands, he’s already proven to be a wonderful partner with his excellent temperament and steady nature. Whether you’re heading out on the trails or working in the arena, Tucker is always the same reliable, willing, and kind-hearted horse. He is registered with the GHR as a crossbred.

Highlights:

Confidence Builder: Tucker’s calm and steady demeanor makes him an excellent choice for riders looking for a horse to boost their confidence. 🦄This is a rare find folks! *No, if you or you kid are new to owning horses / riding he is not the horse for you as I believe beginners need lessons first.
*Rider weight limit under 170lbs

Arena: Nice walk, trot & takes his leads beautifully. He is a smooth to ride, light when cueing him, easily stays in front of your leg. This guy has a beautiful trot but really could finish out in either discipline you choose.

Trained to drive.

Trail Star: Non-spooky and enjoys exploring with his rider. Rides alone or with others.

Easy to Handle: Great with picking up his feet, stands tied, good with trimming, trailer loading, hauling, etc. *Has excellent hooves & is barefoot.

Herd-Friendly: Low man in the pecking order, he can easily get pushed around so needs to be with another kind companion. *He loves to run around and play with our 3 yr old gelding.

This sweet, smooth, and willing gelding is looking for his 5-star forever home. If you’ve been on the hunt for a trustworthy companion who’s easy to get along with, Tucker might just be the perfect match for you.

Up to date on hoof care, vaccinations, & deworming.

Contact us today to meet Tucker and see for yourself why he’s a standout horse!

Tis the time of the season to hoof it! 🎅 Are y’all ready for Christmas? Decorations up? Cookies prepared? Or maybe just in Grinch mode this year? Lets hear it in the comments! 🎄✨

When one of our 'cows' went rogue, the Grinch thought he’d try it's hand at cattle wrangling. 🐄🎄 Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well. Turns out, when you mess with the bull, you get the horns… and maybe a little hoof to go with it. 🎅 Better luck next time, Grinchy!

As we reflect on this year, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for all of you—our amazing clients and the horses you’ve entrusted to us. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to celebrate those connections and remember the blessings in life. Wishing you a warm, safe, and joyful holiday filled with love and gratitude.

People often make the remark to us, 'at least you have that indoor arena to ride in during cold weather.'

Our response is typically, 'yes, we do' - however, we still prioritize spending considerable time taking the horses outdoors in all temps to keep them engaged, learning, and able to handle all terrain that an arena simply doesnt offer. So while the arena may block the wind - it doesn't matter where we are cold, is COLD 🥶

Jorvick Magic Merlin
2021 KWPN Bay gelding
Standing a full 15.3 hands
Pocahontas, IL

Merlin is a standout Friesian x Dutch Warmblood cross with elegance, athleticism, and a bright future ahead of him.

Over the past 90 days, we've had the pleasure of starting him under saddle, and he’s proven to be an absolute joy to work with. Merlin moves gracefully through walk, trot, and canter both in the arena and in open fields. He’s been trailered to nature preserves for hacks and shows courage, calmness, and focus in every setting—whether he’s riding solo or in a group.

This young prospect combines intelligence with a willing spirit, making him the ideal partner for an ambitious rider. He’s not only brave and non-spooky (not saying he will never spook, after all he is a young horse) but also highly trainable, making maneuvers like side-passing over logs and barrels, calmly navigating a teeter-totter, and confidently passing through a smoke tunnel. Merlin has a remarkable level of exposure and maturity for his age and has all the right attributes to go far in the dressage or eventing arena but can go in any direction with his ridablity & trainability.

This talented horse has so much to offer without being intimidating, making him an exciting prospect for those seeking a partner who’s both steady and capable of rising through the levels. Don’t miss the opportunity to make Merlin yours and continue developing his bright future!

*His time is up with us on November 30th & so please share this post to help him find his forever home.

Y'all won’t believe this… I came home tonight to find The Grinch sneaking a ride on Calvin! 🎄💚 He zipped off in a flash (apologies for the blurry pic—he’s quicker than he looks!), but not before warning me he’d be back to ‘borrow’ a few more rides! 😆 Looks like he’s getting a head start on his holiday mischief! 👀 With only 42 days ‘til Christmas, keep your eyes peeled… who knows which horse he’ll pop up on next! 🎅💨

Excited to welcome this gorgeous 3 year-old registered Fox Trotter mare, Tikka, into our program on Sunday! Standing 13.3 hands with a stunning, deep sorrel coat and not a speck of white on her, she's a true beauty. Tikka may be available once her time with us wraps up, so if you're looking for that hard-to-find smaller size, personable, & smart partner to enjoy out on the trail, be sure to reach out!

11/04/2024

Hope y'all had as fantastic a weekend as we did! We put some serious miles on the trainers (and Calvin), and we couldn’t have asked for better company or horses to do it with! Watching Calvin and Kora enjoy the freedom of an open field, no fences holding them back, was pure joy.

Fate & Peaches are really coming along, showing progress every time we saddle up. And Merlin, my steady eddy, is building strength with each ride, learning to place his feet just right on all kinds of terrain and growing more comfortable heading out solo, away from his pals. We even rounded up our miniature cows and got started on halter breaking the little one. It’s been a weekend full of growth and good times all around!

In just a few hours, Ember will be off to her new home in Wisconsin! Her new owner has big plans for her in breakaway roping, and I couldn’t be happier for them both as they start this exciting journey together.

Over the past three months, I’ve helped Ember grow stronger, more confident, and ready for her next adventure. I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of her journey and to see her heading to a place where her talents will truly shine.

Best of luck to you and Ember, Addison—she’ll definitely be missed around here, but I know she’s in the best hands for this next chapter!

Reviewing Sale Horses

I’m truly honored by the trust so many of you place in me when considering a horse to purchase. My messenger has been flooded with requests any more, and while I genuinely enjoy helping each of you find the right match, it’s becoming challenging to keep up with the demand. Evaluating a potential partner—catching subtle lameness issues, identifying behavioral concerns, and ensuring you’re buying from a reputable seller—takes focused time and experience.

Without knowledgeable guidance, these issues can quickly become costly, which is why I’m here to help & happy to do so. To give each inquiry the careful attention it deserves, I do charge a consultation fee for this service. My goal is to support you in making confident, informed choices, and I appreciate your understanding and respect for the time involved.

Thank you!
